"For some guys it's fun and for others, it's nerve-wracking," said Moose forward Lee Goren. "It's always interesting to see what teams do. You like to see what teams are actually vying for a Stanley Cup and who is throwing in the towel. Who are the buyers and who are the sellers?"

"It's basically a rumour mill," added Moose captain Mike Keane. "It's not fun for a lot of players because (a trade) is something that can disrupt people's lives."
